Hi Hans,

Fixed the compiler warning in this version. No other changes.

The original cover letter:

That AXP288 extcon driver is the last that uses build-in connection
description. I'm replacing it with a code that finds the role mux
software node instead.

I'm proposing also here a little helper
usb_role_switch_find_by_fwnode() that uses
class_find_device_by_fwnode() to find the role switches.

Both patches look good to me and I can confirm that things still
work as they should on a CHT device with an AXP288 PMIC, so for both:

p.s.

I guess this means we can remove the build-in connection (
device_connection_add / remove) stuff now?

Yes. I'll prepare separate patches for that.

Actually, maybe it would make sense to just remove it in this series.
I'm attaching a patch that remove struct device_connection completely.
Can you check if it makes sense to you?

This bit seems broken:

 static void *
 fwnode_graph_devcon_match(struct fwnode_handle *fwnode, const char *con_id,
                          void *data, devcon_match_fn_t match)
 {
-       struct device_connection con = { .id = con_id };
        struct fwnode_handle *ep;
        void *ret;

        fwnode_graph_for_each_endpoint(fwnode, ep) {
-               con.fwnode = fwnode_graph_get_remote_port_parent(ep);
-               if (!fwnode_device_is_available(con.fwnode))
+               fwnode = fwnode_graph_get_remote_port_parent(ep);

You are no replacing the passed in fwnode with the fwnode for the
remote_port_parent and then the next time through the loop you will
look at the wrong fwnode as the fwnode argument to
fwnode_graph_for_each_endpoint() gets evaluated multiple times:

#define fwnode_graph_for_each_endpoint(fwnode, child)                   \
        for (child = NULL;                                              \
             (child = fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint(fwnode, child)); )

###

And there is a similar problem here, where you again use the fwmode
argument also as local variable in a loop where the function
argument should be evaluated more then once:

 fwnode_devcon_match(struct fwnode_handle *fwnode, const char *con_id,
                    void *data, devcon_match_fn_t match)
 {
-       struct device_connection con = { };
        void *ret;
        int i;

        for (i = 0; ; i++) {
-               con.fwnode = fwnode_find_reference(fwnode, con_id, i);
-               if (IS_ERR(con.fwnode))
+               fwnode = fwnode_find_reference(fwnode, con_id, i);

###

And it seems that this bit where you introduce -EPROBE_DEFER is an unrelated
behavior change? :

+static void *generic_match(struct fwnode_handle *fwnode, const char *id,
+                          void *data)
 {
        struct bus_type *bus;
        struct device *dev;
+       void *ret = NULL;

        for (bus = generic_match_buses[0]; bus; bus++) {
-               dev = bus_find_device_by_fwnode(bus, con->fwnode);
-               if (dev && !strncmp(dev_name(dev), con->id, strlen(con->id)))
-                       return dev;
+               dev = bus_find_device_by_fwnode(bus, fwnode);
+               if (dev) {
+                       if (!strncmp(dev_name(dev), id, strlen(id)))
+                               return dev;
+                       ret = ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER);
+               }


Note that the old generic_match code had:

-       if (con->fwnode)
-               return device_connection_fwnode_match(con);

Which will simply always return either the dev or NULL, so as said this
is a behavior change AFAICT.

I've been trying to figure out what you are trying to do here and
I found a troublesome path through the old code:

1. device_connection_find() gets called on a device with a fwnode
2. device_connection_find() calls device_connection_find_match()
3. device_connection_find_match() calls fwnode_connection_find_match()
4. fwnode_connection_find_match() calls fwnode_graph_devcon_match() this returns NULL
5. fwnode_connection_find_match() calls fwnode_devcon_match()
6. fwnode_devcon_match() creates a struct device_connection with just fwnode set, the rest is 0/NULL
7. fwnode_devcon_match() calls generic_match() with this struct
8. generic_match() calls device_connection_fwnode_match() because con->fwnode is set
9. device_connection_fwnode_match() does the following if a device is found:
   if (dev && !strncmp(dev_name(dev), con->id, strlen(con->id)))
       return dev;
   but con->id is NULL here, so we have a NULL pointer deref here!

We are currently not hitting this path because there are no callers of
device_connection_find() all devcon users currently use device_connection_find_match()

Note I believe the code after your patch still has this problem. Also doing
the strcmp on the dev_name seems wrong? At least for the above code path, where
fwnode_devcon_match() has already used / consumed the id.

So at a minimum we need to add a id == NULL check to generic_match (*), but
Since there are no users and the strcmp to to dev_name is weird, I believe that
it would be better to just remove device_connection_find() (and generic_match, etc.) ?

This could be a preparation patch for the patch you attached, this would simplify
this patch a bit.

###

If we end up with something like your suggested patch I think it might be good to
do a follow up where device_connection_find_match callers simply call
fwnode_connection_find_match directly and we remove device_connection_find_match ?
Or maybe turn it into a static inline function?

Regards,

Hans

*)  Note that the typec related callers of device_connection_find_match() all 3
either already have an id == NULL check, or just ignore id completely.
